Pokédex · VII (Alola)

Kartana#798

Its greatest asset is Attack — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Weak point: Sp. Def — lower than 95% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. Defensively it can rely on 2 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for the Fire type — damage from it is quadrupled. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Attack; weak point: Sp. Def.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Attack, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits physically: its Attack (181) is 122 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.

  • Jolly +Spe · −SpA Its Speed is higher than 91% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Adamant +Atk · −SpA If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
  • Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry

This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on its own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself.

Egg Group: Undiscovered Gender: Genderless Catch difficulty: hard (45/255) Base friendship: 0/255 Base EXP: 257
